The Anti-Poverty Society.

The first public meeting of the Anti-PoVerty 30
ciety of Maryland was held in the Academy of
Music, Baltimore, on Sunday night last, with Mr..
W. J. Ogden presiding About 600 people were
present and among those on the platform were
several ministers, including Rev. DR.. William X.
Monroe, formerly of Baltimore county. Mr.. Ogden
stated that the society is similar to the one of the
same name in New York, and is its child. he
said: awe know what we want and we will get
there. will announce the creed of our society.
It's: I believe in the fatherhood Of God and the
brotherhood of man. 1t is becoming that we
should breathe q prayer" He then recited the
Lords Prayer, the audience all standing.
Prof. Garside, president of the society, said ::
"Thank God we have begun well. The basis Of
our society rests not the intricacy OF political
factions, but stands on the rock of eternal ages,
Christ Jesus. We have naught to fear or blush
for We ask the keenest investigation. This So
ciety has to deal with very serious disease, pow
erty. 1t is claimed that we want the earth. Well,
we're going to have it. If, as Napoleon said, q
battle well planned is half won, then we have al
ready won. Henry George has plan. 1t was
given by the prophets 5000 years ago. But by
the domination of might over right of the classes
over the masses, the plan has been for a time
crushed. All men being born equal, we demand
equal rights You Jail tramp for forty days for
vagrancy. 1 say it is unjust. That tramp has a
sacred right. He had mother and father. My
faith in equality is strong that believe there
is no poverty stricken child that God would not
take into His arms. And when landlords stand
upon the earth and say, Thus far and no farther,
we can say. God is behind us and we can't go
too far In America the products of labor are
saturated with the blood of the workingman. 1
am not an anarchist nor socialist am Chris
tan. Oh, those apologies for Christians! Oh,
those hypocrites of the priesthood, who when a
man dares to feel from Gods altar sympathy for
man and dares to denounce injustice he is excom-
municated, like our Father McGlynn."

whv the Office Should Seek the Man,

Why the Office Should Seek the Man.
The Baltimore Evening Ne,os says: "There is at
least one politician in Baltimore county who does
not believe in the maxim that the office should
seek the man and not the man the office.
at is nonsense" said the politician day or two
ago, "and is merely specimen of the dishonest
cant which is so prevalent in our politics now.
''The question that should be asked, continued
the politician, dis whether the is pure in char
acter and capable of filling the office creditably.
There are many persons who are too indolent to
seek what they actually desire, or too indifferent
to make an effort to secure honors which they
would enjoy if given them without any seeking on
their part These people, if elected to response
BILE position, may wear the title it confers with
pride, but feel that they have done the public or
the party favor in accepting and feel under no
obligation to sacrifice any private interest for the
sake of devoting their time and attention to their
official duties.
"On the other hand, man of high character
may feel an honorable ambition to secure posi-
ton of Importance He honestly confesses his
wish and uses every effort to secure its consumma-
ton. If he succeeds he feels that it is incumbent
on him to do his level best to observe the distinc-
ton conferred on him.
eff such man is of equal integrity and capa-
biity with the man who has to be besought to sac
rce his interests for the public good the chances
are ten to one that he will make better official
than the other.
'To sum it all up" said the politician in con-
clusion, "I think any American ought to feel that
it is very desirable thing to be president, or SEN
ator, or governor, and if he feels that way, l do
not think it makes him better man to play the
hypocrite by the pretending he doesn't"

Price, recording secretary; Miss Bette Pearce,
corresponding secretary; Miss Maggie Bond,
treasurer; Mrs. Lewis M. Bacon, superintendent
Of literature; Miss Mollie Brown, superintendent
of juvenile work. The membership, active and
honorary, numbers about forty.
The weather during the month of August haV-
ing been favorable for the tomato crop, large
quantities have formed and the yield is satisfac-
tory. Late vines are doing much better than the
early ones.
The Senior Gunpowder Agricultural Club will
convene on October LIST, at the residence OF Mr..
James B. Ensor. This will be the first meeting of
the club at that place, Mr.. Ensor having lately
become member.
The corn crop is about secured in shocks. but
little being topped. The weather has been favor
able for grain seeding and our farmers en-
gagged in so doing, though reluctantly, owing to
the unproitableness of the crop. Our pastures
have continued good and stock generally look
well. Turnips have profted by the good season
and make showing that can hardly be excelled.
Some should be marketed now, if salable.
Apples are so scarce that but little cider has
been made. The Smiths cider apples have borne
a fair crop, though not gathered yet. Some
graperies have yielded we'll.

Opening the Campaign.-A mass-meeting,
under the auspices of the Towsontown Democratic
Club, was held in the Court House on Tuesday
night The club marched from its headquarters
to the place of meeting, headed by the Mt. Vernon
band. The Court room was we'll filled with peo-
pie, among them about fifty ladies, who took much
interest in the proceedings. John Grason, Esq,
president of the club, called the meeting to order
and made a neat opening address. He then nom
mated for chairman Col. Walter S. Franklin, of
the Sth district with long lat of e-presidents
and secretaries On taking the chair Col Frank
lin made few remarks and then introduced Hon.
William Pinkney Whyte, Democratic nominee for
Attorney General, who spoke for upwards of an
hour and a-half. OF course his speech was good
one because Gov. Whyte knows how to hold an
audience, and he was attentively listened to
throughout and all his telling points were heartily
applauded The greater part of the speech was
devoted to President Cleveland and his admins
tration but he also referred to the subject of fair
elections and honest registration the question of
a new constitution, &c. 1t was noticeable fact
that he had very little to say of State politics and
made no attempt to defend his party against the
numerous sins with which it is being charged
Speeches were also made by Col. VIM. Young, of
Belair, and by States Attorney N. Chas. Burke.
The meeting was the first of the campaign and,
as Gov. Whyte said, it was the first political
speech he had made in five years.
